Pure Project organization, can also termed a “task force”, is a model of a business where the

project managers have total control over the project. In the case of pure project, the leader of
this task force would have to be given total authority for a limited period to solve a particular
problem. In business, it is a great challenge to find an example of such purity.
Advantages:

 The project manager has full line of authority.

 All members of the project work force are directly responsible to the project manager.
 When the project is removed from the functional division, the lines of communication is
shortened.
 When there are several successive projects of a similar kind, pure project organization
can manipulate a more or less permanent cadre of experts who develop considerable
skill in specific technologies.
 The project team that has a strong and separate identity of its own tends to develop a
high level of commitment from its members.
 The pure-project organization offers powerful advantages of clear project authority,
access to special expertise, project focus and priority, as well as simplified project
communications.
 The project manager's opportunity for career progression.
 Due to good communication within the project work, the team members tend to be
more committed to, and excel in, their responsibilities.
 Teams can have a strong sense of identity. It is the easiest structure within which to
create a strong team culture.
 The whole team is focused on the team’s goals, so conflict of loyalty exists with the day
job for the people working on the project. Their day job is the project.
 Resources are dedicated to the project, so it’s much easier to schedule work. You’ll
know when the team members are available and there’s no risk that they'll be pulled
off at short notice to business-as-usual work for another manager.
 Projects run in this structure are great environments for improving your project
management skills as well as more technical leadership skills.
